Understanding Your Family’s Genetic Health: ABCA12 Gene Ichthyosis Testing
When you’re concerned about severe skin conditions running in your family, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. We understand the emotional weight of genetic health questions, especially when they involve rare conditions like Harlequin Ichthyosis. At Oracle Genomics, we provide the clarity and answers South African families deserve through our advanced ABCA12 Gene Ichthyosis Congenital Harlequin Fetus Type NGS Genetic DNA Test.
What This Test Detects
This comprehensive genetic test uses Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations in the ABCA12 gene, which is responsible for producing a protein essential for normal skin development. When this gene contains specific mutations, it can lead to Harlequin Ichthyosis – a rare but serious condition characterized by thick, diamond-shaped plates of skin separated by deep cracks.
Our test provides 99.9% accuracy in detecting these genetic variations, giving you definitive answers about your family’s genetic health profile.
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is particularly important for:
- Couples with a family history of severe skin conditions or Harlequin Ichthyosis
- Parents who have previously had a child affected by severe skin abnormalities
- Individuals planning pregnancy who want to understand their genetic risks
- Families with unexplained infant skin conditions in their medical history
- Anyone referred by their dermatologist for genetic screening
If you’ve been worrying about passing genetic conditions to your children, this test provides the clarity you need to make informed family planning decisions.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Family’s Health
Understanding your genetic profile offers significant benefits:
- Peace of Mind: Eliminate uncertainty about your family’s genetic risks
- Informed Planning: Make confident decisions about family planning with complete information
- Early Intervention: If needed, prepare for specialized care and management strategies

- Medical Preparedness: Work with healthcare providers to develop appropriate care plans
Knowledge is power when it comes to genetic health, and early detection can significantly impact your family’s wellbeing.
